I am trying to use UberStudent-2.10-desktop-i386.iso as live dvd but having a possible video card issue. MD5 checksum correct. First tried using UNetbootin Windows 583 but same results. I have tried both live and force boot options but both give the same result. Boot. UberStudent splash. Mouse cursor on screen. Screen goes grey. Screen goes squiggly and muticolor. Audio. Hangs. Unplug so unit can be restarted.

Tried on both Dell and HP kit - sadly ATi Radeon X1400 and X1200 (=OLD) but I've never seen a problem quite like this before.

Certainly my old Dell 620 would never baulk at anything - OK 1024x768 is pretty rough but no matter...but I no longer have that to test the Intel chip. I have been able to get part of a desktop once, but that was it - otherwise grey/black stripes or grey mist.

I deleted the files from the USB but tried the Live DVD I burned. DVD goes to grub boot screen and I then hit Alt and F2 at the same time and never goes to CLI. It just boots system. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Robin is correct, looks like we probably found the issue at around the same time. The issue is that the file is copying as non-writable so is not being overwritten as it should on certain screen resolutions. A minor bug fix release is uploading right now and should be available at Sourceforge about 1.5 hours from right now.

Thanks Stephen for the quick update on the bug! I will have to try the new ISO you uploaded when I get a chance. Thanks to Robin for her quick response and workaround. I am sure I did something not quit right since I could not get Robin's workaround to work for me.

Robin, I never was able to be successful with the workaround. I tried at all different points from splash screen till grey plus colored squiggle. Not sure what I did wrong. Stephen has the new 2.10-1 out now at Sourceforge so I downloaded that and used UNetbootin with persistent and have now tested it on all three Dell computers with success on all three. I am writing from the USB on the last machine now for this final post on this subject. Thanks for your help! Thanks for Stephen's hard work on 2.10-1. It looks like 3.0 is shaping up well!
